Connectivity Continued

A group of eight young women worked with professional artists Crystal Bruno and Tanya Albrigtsen-Frable to create a colorful mural at the front entrance of PS 506 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Groundswell partnered with PS 506 and the Center for Family Life to create this monumental mural. Connectivity Continued is inspired by the schools theme of global communication through technology and journalism with an emphasis on multicultural children. The continued emergence of new technology can be a scary thought for some, but the youth working on this project wanted to show how technology is positive and necessary for humans to connect and flourish in an ever-growing society. A vine grows throughout the mural and intertwines with the diverse groups of children playing and learning. The vine also evokes a wire, highlighting both technology and the balance of nature. A light bulb represents the ideas and creativity that are born through the use of technology.
